I received this item with "no noticeable scratches or stains," but unfortunately, the size doesn't fit, and I've only tried it on. As for the feel of use, it varies from person to person, so please check the images. The size is listed as GIRL'S L(12). (Equivalent to women's size S～XS) Please check the size before considering a purchase. I may compress the item for shipping, so please refrain from purchasing if you are particularly concerned about this. #Patagonia
